Vehicles affected: 8,500
Reported to NHTSA: 2007-04-02

Defect description

ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, WHEN EQUIPPED WITH A WINDSHIELD, THE THROTTLE CABLES CAN KINK AT THE GUIDE BRACKET LOCATED AT THE STEERING HEAD WHEN THE HANDLEBAR IS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. IN THIS POSITION, A KINKED CABLE CAN CAUSE EITHER A STICKLY THROTTLE FEELING OR PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE CLOSED POSITION.

Safety risk

IF THE RIDER TURNS THE HANDLEBAR TO THE FULL LEFT LOCK DURING A SLOW-SPEED MANEUVER, THIS STICKY/BINDING THROTTLE FEELING COULD RESULT IN REDUCED VEHICLE CONTROL, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE GUIDE BRACKET WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS AN ADDITIONAL GUIDE TO PREVENT THE THROTTLE CABLES FROM KINKING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT YAMAHA AT 1-800-962-7926.
